[nos-bbs] Status of the JNOS 2 project ...

[Bob Nielsen]

Skip,

Have you tried configuring Evolution to route all mail to JNOS,  
rather than to your ISP?  It's been a while, but I think I was able  
to use JNOS as my local SMTP server at one time.

Alternately, you should be able run a local smtp server using  
something like Exim or Postfix and set Evolution (or any client)  
deliver all outgoing mail to that.  You can then use route statements  
to specify different routes for 44 addresses via JNOS and non-44  
address via your ISP's default gateway (or directly to the internet).
